Saving Battleship Texas: Tow to Dry Dock

[@rilmar2137]

All those years and she is still absolutely majestic

[@michaelkotcher5491]

Refit gets done, just need an engine overhaul and she’s ready to fight

[@BattleshipTexas]

We're keeping our original engines and we will forever remain in retirement.

[@narethliansgamespace3860]

@@BattleshipTexas Despite the decades of rust and wear, she's still a beautiful lady.

[@Ozzel1980]

What a brilliant ship, the only dreadnought left in the world and the only battleship left to have served in both world wars.

[@gerryw.629]

I wish my grandfather was around to see this. He was a radio man in 1924 on the battleship Texas.

[@Ricardoteh345rd]

Seeing battleship texas at 2:27 in the video is awsome it looks like she's just leaving port under her own power on deployment. She's an amazing ship and immensely important globally. as a memorial to the hero's who fought and served also been the last dreadnought "come on texas" 🇺🇸

[@ronaldmiller2740]

GREAT VIDEO !!! GREAT WORK GALS AND GUYS ,,.. BRINGING THAT GREAT OLD SHIP BATTLESHIP TEXAS TO A HEALING PLACE TO GET BETTER.. AS A VETERAN THIS VIDEO MADE ME CRY ,,.. THE HISTORY SHE HAS I AM GLAD THERE GOING TO SAVE HER INSTEAD OF SCRAPPING HER,,, G D BLESS THANKS TRAVIS....

[@auger7074]

What a fantastic vessel the USS Texas is… Respect and admiration from the UK!

[@ronb7931]

That ship is a special piece of history that testifies to the fighting spirit of freedom within the heart and soul of this nation…

[@RichMartin]

Fantastic and touching video. I love seeing her in drydock here in Galveston.

[@sabba_dabba8649]

Thanks to everyone from over the past 15 years who made this possible, thanks to those who have been doing so much while in dry dock and will continue to do so much

[@pruittiii]

Marvelous. Absolutely marvelous. To see a dreadnought sailing down the channel is unreal. I feel a road trip to Texas, once she gets to her permanent home, is justified. Kudos to Daniel, Robert, Brad, Travis, Bruce, and all the others who helped get Texas to Gulf Copper.

[@frankbarnwell____]

Thanks for all the sailors involved who gave a damn!

[@stothal]

USS Texas is an amazing tribute to shipbuilding in the US. May she be restored forever as a testament to our union.

[@StylinandProfilinBBsandBBQ]

Great video with good pictures and clips of the ship. Good job team Texas. COME ON TEXAS!

[@xCaroI1435]

Fantastic shots. What a beauty..

[@jamesandyvance4973]

My wife and I just got back from 10 days in Galveston and we had the opportunity to see Texas from Pier 21 and from a dolphin sight seeing boat. I have never been more moved than when I saw her in the drydock. Even with chunks of hull removed from her sides she was still majestic. Hulking and majestic. What a big, beautiful lady! Glad to be a Texan!

[@stanleydomalewski8497]

She is a Beautiful Ship ! I know that she can't be made to move on her own, but it Would Be Amazing if She Could ever, Make a Visit to PEARL HARBOR ! Thanks for Taking Care of Her ! Best Wishes to All !

[@larryjohnson1966]

Wow, great video. Well put together. Thank You.

[@samanthabenedict7806]

I see her everytime i go on the cruises out of Galveston. Shes still going strong and she is a beauty!

[@mikesmithg0rfd356]

thank you for all the good work.

[@TK-ri7pl]

Made the 13hr road trip (each direction) from FL to do the drydock tour a week back. SO, SO, SO worth the trip. Memories, pictures, and the knowledge imparted by the tour guide that is simply impossible to convey. If you have the slightest desire to see her in drydock.....DO NOT hesitate.

[@ghosteye9721]

I was standing on the bow of the USS Stewart that day, it was definitely worth getting a sunburn to the Texas come into port!

[@S0RGEx]

Seeing her coming down the Galveston ship channel was such an experience. I was up all night and morning watching the livestream of y'all getting her out of the berth, constantly checking Twitter for updates, then heading down to see that final leg of the trip in-person. I actually almost cried lol

[@AngieTX]

What is it about this amazing ship that evokes such emotions in me?! Every time I see footage of her being towed to dry dock, I tear up. Her incredible history, the role she played in two world wars, all the brave heroes who served aboard her or in common efforts, and the fact that she still "lives on" all add to the mystique of BB-35. What a ship! She was appropriately named too. I'm so happy she has been saved and is being restored to the glory of a bygone era. Come On Texas!

[@patchmack4469]

fantastic sight and very likely even more emotional seeing it for real - she's a rare beast and must be kept for all to see, be it in person or here on the jolly old interwebb - patch in the UK

[@glennac]

Well done! Who ever edited this video did an amazing job. 👍🏼 Loved the interviews interspersed between shots of the ship being moved was touching. Thanks❣️

Very well done Video

[@Mom-277]

Texas Proud

[@thurin84]

i think, seeing texas underway with those american flags fluttering in the breeze is one of the most moving sights ive ever seen. simply beautiful.

[@BamaPrince1]

I've been here I was working in Port Arthur we came to check yalls out to see if it was bigger than our BattleShip in Alabama lol!! It's alot Smaller than Ours Here! What's really cool is riding that elevator in the Tower in the Background that was the coolest thing ever

[@flu_nog_777]

I cant wait to visit my state ship again! Full speed ahead Texas!

[@leaj847]

What an extremely well produced video! Thanks for the work that all the workers and staff are doing.

[@rachelcarre9468]

What a financial and engineering achievement led by an amazing team. It’s great to see the number of YT subscribers ticking up. This is a project (and ship) of mammoth proportions.

[@andrewreynolds4949]

Texas on the move looks fantastic

[@riverbluevert7814]

Sending a big message from the little State of Rhode Island: COME ON TEXAS!

[@briancarl5566]

Amazing! Hats off to the entire team that made this happen. I read that the long term lease was recently approved as well! Love seeing a great old ship like this restored! 🇺🇲⚓🇺🇲

[@b25364]

What great work in keeping this beautiful ship in good order. Big claps for everyone's efforts.

[@KyriosMirage]

You guys are doing an amazing job with her! Glad she's in such good hands.

[@eliseoeugenin4252]

Thank you sooooooo much. You communicate your emotion to all of us

[@burroaks7]

This is soooo friggen awesome / amzaing / incredible just awesome

[@biscuitninja]

Seeing her move down to the dry dock was awe inspiring. Even though ahe is relatively small by battleship standards, she is still huge!

[@davidmiller2823]

Did a dock tour about 3 weeks ago awesome

[@borisspringsteen1987]

Magnificent. Great work, thank you.

[@wotterthose4511]

It was such a delight coming down last sunday to see it in dry dock. great work!

[@QurikyBark32919]

This was truly a sight to behold. You get your ass I’m watching the pull out too!

[@VKiera]

She was a site to see in person. I can't wait to see her in her new home.

[@HPWY]

In the Water Again 🎉 God Bless Texas ❤

[@allenfontenot7832]

COME ON TEXAS!!!

[@tomscotttheolderone364]

Very, very good, guys!!!

[@barrymccockiner6641]

Can't wait to find out where her new home is

[@robertf3479]

I noticed that the Flags flying from Texas were the old 48 Star Ensigns. Was this in tribute to the men who served in her during WWI and WWII and the Flags she flew when she went in Harm's Way? I am NOT criticizing, I think it's a wonderful idea. I've said it before on this site and on others, your ship is a beautiful and grand old Lady.

[@BattleshipTexas]

Yes. And because that was the national flag while she was still in commission.

[@DIVeltro]

The best thing to see wou be her going to her new home under her own power.

[@redwhiteblue7166]

Magnificent Lady!

[@cats400]

You can see me on my boat at 1:56!!! Lol

[@hankbirmingham6662]

Go… TEXAS!!!😘

[@lunarweasel]

Are there any fresh water long term docking possibilities?

[@texan-american200]

2:23 That ship in the foreground, what ship is this?

[@cameraman655]

USS Stewart Destroyer Escort. She sits alongside the submarine USS Cavalla in Galveston at Seawolf Park on Pelican Island 🫡🇺🇸🤠

[@Lone_Star_Proud]

USS Stewart (DE-238) destroyer escort at Seawolf Park.

[@texan-american200]

​​@@cameraman655 @William Wright I thought so, but I didn't recognize her from the drone's camera view. I only recognized her from ground level. Neat to see her from a different perspective.

[@mikemccoy635]

Any idea where she will be displayed After drydock ?

[@geofffikar3417]

Go Texas!

[@Voxxpopulii]

I LOVE ME A DREADNAUGHT…

Would you prefer the”Texas”without her torpedo bulges?

Not First.
